Definitions

  • This invention relates to a multilayered-eddy-current type strong magnetic field generator which is suitable for various research works in magnetics engineering such as studies of magnetic properties of materials, in power magnetics, in bio-magnetics, and in nuclear fusion. More particularly, the invention relates to a strong magnetic field generator which can continuously generate a very strong magnetic field by superposition of eddy current that are individually induced in multiple conductor layers respectively.
  • strong magnetic field generators can be classified into several groups; namely, destructive pulse strong magnetic field generators such as those of KNER method and the implosion method, non-destructive pulse strong magnetic field generators such as those of the multilayered coil type and the so-called MIT type, continuous strong magnetic field generators such as those of superconductive type and hybrid type.
  • the strong magnetic field generators of the prior art provided very strong magnetic fields, but they have shortcomings in that the duration of the strong magnetic fields generated is very short, that special facilities such as extremely low temperature apparatus and large power source apparatus are required, that only pulse or direct-current (DC) magnetic field can be generated, and that continuous generation of strong alternating-current (AC) magnetic field is not possible.
  • the inventors proposed an eddy current type strong AC magnetic field generator in their Japanese Patent Application No. 61(1986)-228,459. More specifically, the eddy current type AC magnetic field generator which was previously proposed by the inventors uses a conductor plate placed in an AC magnetic field to be produced by an electromagnet formed of a coil, so that an eddy current is induced in the conductor plate for generating a counter magnetic field for neutralizing the AC magnetic field of the electromagnet. A cavity is bored in the conductor plate in such a manner that the AC magnetic field due to the eddy current is converged in the cavity so as to intensify the magnetic flux density to an extremely high level at the cavity. Thereby, a very strong AC magnetic field is generated at the cavity by the converging of the eddy current thereat.
  • Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 show examples of the previously proposed eddy current type strong AC magnetic field generator.
  • two conductor plates 1 with a minute slit 2 or a cavity therebetween have two coils 14a and 14b mounted on opposite surfaces thereof.
  • AC magnetic flux is converged in the slit 2 due to the above-mentioned reason, and the magnetic flux density in the slit is intensified and a strong AC magnetic field is generated there.
  • a conductor disk 1 with a central hole 3 and a slit 2 in radial direction is disposed within a single coil 14.
  • the slit 2 is in the form of a notch extending from the periphery of the disk 1 to the central hole 3.
  • the AC magnetic flux is converged at the central hole 3 due to the same reason, and a strong AC magnetic field is generated there.
  • the above eddy current type strong AC magnetic field generator has a shortcoming in that leakage of the magnetic flux to be converged is fairly large. Due to the large leakage, it has been difficult to intensify the density of the AC magnetic flux at the slit 2 or the hole 3 to a theoretical expected level. Thus, the efficiency of AC magnetic field generating has been low, and it cannot operate satisfactorily with a small power source.
  • Fig. 9 shows the distribution of equi-vector-potential lines in the strong AC magnetic field generator of Fig. 7, depicting the manner in which the magnetic flux converges.
  • Fig. 10 shows the magnetic flux distribution in the AC magnetic field generator of Fig. 7, which distribution was checked by experiments.
  • the distributions of the equi-vector-potential lines and the magnetic flux indicate that the structure of Fig. 7 has a large leakage of magnetic flux and the convergence of the AC magnetic flux in the slit 2 is limited to a comparatively low level.
  • Fig. 11 shows the distribution of equi-vector-potential lines in the strong AC magnetic field generator of Fig. 8, illustrating the manner in which the magnetic flux converges. This figure also indicates a large leakage of magnetic flux as in the preceding example, which means that a high density of AC magnetic flux in the hole 3 is difficult to achieve with the structure of Fig. 8.
  • an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art by providing an improved eddy current type strong AC magnetic field generator.
  • a planar conductor having a hole with a slit emanating therefrom is connected to special multilayered paths of eddy currents which paths are coupled to corresponding coils in such a manner that, when the coils are excited by an AC voltage, eddy currents are induced in the multilayered paths and the induced eddy currents are concentrated in the proximity of the hole of the planar conductor, so that AC magnetic flux density at the hole is increased efficiently with a minimum leakage and a strong magnetic field is generated there.
  • the strong AC magnetic field generator of the invention easily provides not only a desired strong AC magnetic field but also a strong pulse magnetic field while using regular conductors at room temperature. Thus, the invention improves the capability of conventional magnetic field generator.
  • a number of conductor cylinders are disposed in a concentric manner, and a longitudinal slit is formed in each of the cylinders so that each cylinder has a sidewall which is open at the slit.
  • An exciting coil surrounds the outside surface of each cylinder so as to induce an eddy current in the cylinder sidewall in its circumferential direction.
  • a conductor plate with a central hole and a radial slit extending from the central hole to the periphery thereof is joined to the conductor cylinders in such a manner that the central hole is at the center of the cylinders while the longitudinal slits of the cylinders intersect with the radial slit of the conductor plate.
  • the path of the eddy current in each conductor cylinder is closed through sidewall portions of both the radial slit and the central hole of the conductor plate, and the eddy currents of all the conductor cylinders are superposed at the central hole of the conductor plate.
  • the magnetic flux is efficiently converged at the central hole of the conductor plate.
  • Each of the conductor cylinder of the above-mentioned strong magnetic field generator of the invention may extend in opposite directions of the conductor plate in a symmetrical fashion with respect to the conductor plate.
  • the magnetic flux due to the eddy currents is efficiently converged with a minimum leakage, and the magnetic flux density is increased to a very high level.
  • a very strong AC or pulse magnetic field with a desired magnetic flux density is generated, which magnetic field can be used for measurement of physical properties of materials, for research work to develop new materials, for studies in bio-magnetics, and the like.
